Darts Farm’s Farm Table restaurant wins best newcomer at Food Magazine Reader Awards

Darts Farm is thrilled to announce that its new restaurant, The Farm Table has just been voted ‘Best Newcomer’ by the readers of Food Magazine. 

Michael Dart, who runs Darts Farm alongside his two brothers, James and Paul, comments: “We are absolutely thrilled to win this award, which recognises the huge effort that has gone into creating The Farm Table. It was during lockdown that we first dreamt about opening a restaurant that would showcase the best produce available from our farm and food hall. Last summer this dream became a reality and, less than a year after opening the doors, we are delighted to have our achievements recognised by our customers with this fantastic award.” 

Michael’s son, George, has been instrumental in bringing the original concept of The Farm Table to life and creating the new flagship restaurant. He explains: “Our aim with the launch of The Farm Table was to create a restaurant that would celebrate the simplicity of beautiful ingredients grown, reared, caught and crafted on our doorstep. Produce that can not be sourced from the farm is provided by our vibrant community of like minded artisan producers, farmers and fisherman who share our passion for flavour. Since we opened last summer, we have had lots of fantastic feedback from our customers but this award is the icing on the cake. It is great to know that they love The Farm Table as much as we do!”

The Food Magazine Reader Awards have championed the South West’s best independent food and drink businesses for nearly a decade. The Awards are an opportunity for readers to celebrate their favourite indie venues and products. Over 100,000 votes were cast over two rounds of voting across 13 categories this year. The winners were announced at a ceremony at Nancarrow Farm in Cornwall on May 15.
